Allow specifying foreign key constraint name using annotations -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ANN-261 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-261 Project: Hibernate Annotations Type: Improvement

Components: binder Versions: 3.1beta8 Reporter: Paul Barry Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.2.0 Attachments: hibernate-annotation-3.2.0.CR2-fk2.patch, hibernate-annotations-3.2.0.CR1-fk.patch, hibernate-annotations-fk.patch Using hbm.xml configuration for many-to-one, there is a foreign-key property that allows you to specify the name of the FK constraint. It would be nice if there was something similar for annotations, such as @ManyToOne ( constraintName = "FK_WHATEVER"). Also, a sensible default would be nice to, for example FK_TABLE_NAME_COLUMN_NAME, rather than FK20708CF6792111. I know Oracle has a 30 char limit for constraint names, so there would have to me some logic to find a way to abbreviate it.
